Restless Poem by Savita Tyagi

Peace where have you vanished?
What chased you away from mind?

Summer is about to end-
Autumn breeze tosses brown leaves in air
Scattered on ground wrinkled and curled
Falling acorns break the silence.

Little squirrels chase each other down from a tree
The one on grass nibbles on an acorn - care free
Her cautious eyes looking straight into my eyes
She senses a familiarity in my figure slight
Careful but not fearful is her demeanor.

A monarch came to rest upon rose bush
Wilted and scorched from Summer's heat
A patch of white cloud floats in blue sky
Beneath it a morning doves glides high.

Nature is restive and calm for a down turn
Though restless is mind for no reason
O! Peace! Where have you gone to hide!
Come back and calm this tumultuous tide.
